The standard parts database groups standard parts together into standard part categories based on properties for the part. For example, all ANSI metric washers would be in one category, while all DIN bolts would be in a separate category. The parts delivered in the libraries can be thought of as parametric Solid Edge parts that provide all of the data needed to generate a particular part of a selected size. Generated parts are stored in a folder structure based on their categorization in the Standard Parts folder. You can generate all parts from a category or delete existing standard part categories.
